+On Mac OS (Classic), the path separator is ':', not '/', and the
+current directory is denoted as ':', not '.'. To move up the directory
+tree, you will use '::' to move up one level, but ':::' and so on to
+move up the tree two or more levels (i.e. the equivalent to '../../..'
+is '::::'). Generally, you should be careful about specifying relative pathnames.
+While a full path always begins with a volume name, a relative pathname
+should always begin with a ':'. If specifying a volume name only, a
+trailing ':' is required.
+
+Actually, on Mac OS, the C<getcwd()>, C<fastgetcwd()> and C<fastcwd()>
+functions are all aliases for the C<cwd()> function, which, on Mac OS,
+calls `pwd`. Likewise, the C<abs_path()> function is an alias for
+C<fast_abs_path()>.
